In the world
you have
tribulation;
but be of good cheer,
I have overcome
the world.
[John 16:33]

"Lord, where is she?"

[PAITIENT SILENCE.]

"Where is she, Lord:
that horse that got
slaughtered, yesterday?"

[SILENCE.]

"Ya know: at the
Kentucky Derby?"

"With Me, child."

"Yeah?
But, I thought animals
didn't have any SOULS?"

[PATIENT SILENCE.]

"So, like......they don't
get to go to HEAVEN?"

"Trust Me, child."

(Silence.)
(Silence.)
"Hey, LORD?"

"Yes, child?"

"Ten million."

[PATIENT SILENCE.]

"Ten million, Lord,"

"I understand,
My child."

"That's how much
the Kentucky Derby
needs to donate."

[PATIENT SILENCE.]

"To the Society.....
For the Prevention:
(Silence.)
of Cruelty...
..........to Animals."

[GENTLE VOICE.]
"Who AM I, child?"

(Sigh.)
"The LORD?"

[NOD.]
"Trust Me."

Again,
Jesus
spoke to them,
saying,
I am the Light
of the world.
[John 8:12]
